@rainphakir you’re a guy so you probably don’t have long hair. But you might notice that your hair is thicker and stronger.
I wear my hair long. It took about 2 years to grow my strong, non-splitting hair in completely.

Question to the group, have any of you experienced any negative side effects?
I do not use a ton of it. But there have been improvements.
Thanks
@PucksFool No but I have gone through some other things since February so things are not quite as good elsewhere. I am getting back on track. Things were not that far off track. Nothing to do with the peptides. The one thing if you are trying to control weight do not use two scoops. It has calories.

Correct. 2-3 haircuts per year. Buzzed down using #2-length trimmer (very short), so nice and cool all year long.
Been using the collagen (1 tb/15ml/day) since May 1. No changes I can identify as yet, but will see what happens. Added to my 2pm coffee daily, so no real change to daily routine required.

I have long hair. I do a self scissor cut about once a month. I have a bit of a Beatles cut with the traditional Irish part. My hairline has not receded with age. Thick wavy hair. I can not tell if it is better now because I add Aveeno to improve it and get rid of dryness on my scalp.
TMI?
#1 for me, at 6-8 weeks. Hair, beard, mustache, all of it a #1. Easy care, and cool!
I have to wear a do-rag if I’m sweating.
I fold a bandana and tie it around and over my head.
My hair (and nails) might be growing slightly faster? IDK for sure.

“Chick fade” for me. Scissored on top the graduated from #3 down to #1 at nape and over the ears. Unfortunately, it really requires precision buzzing and frequent visits.
My absolute best iterations were when we lived back East and Boston metro west area. I saw a woman in nearby Upton in a very dated looking shop (couldn’t rightly call it a salon). Been recommended there by someone in the local supermarket whose hair I liked (she warned me about the “unassuming” nature of the place) I swear she was military trained and I would get a cut that was initially quite startling…Semper Fi meets Peaky Blinders…and always made my husband say “Bloody Hell!” every time. Grew in perfect within just a few days. Charged $15 with the midweek seniors discount.
I was at the hairdressers just over 2 weeks ago and decided to experiment with a bit more length. Have to get more taken off next week as we’re going on vacation 2 weeks time and it’ll never last . Husband took these just now (he likes it “long”)…but it’s already needing a blow-dry and product and I can’t be doing woth that.
Thin and fine hair since childhood. Collagen hasn’t thickened it up any as far as I can tell after about 4 years or so of reasonably consistent use…but maybe it’d be even worse without. Who knows🤔

Selfie, hand cut by me.
Recommend that Henson shaver you see online if you surf a bit. Costs about 60 cents per month to shave. I do not use anything but wet face and shaver.
adding I do not know about the rest of you but the ragweed is knocking me out.

One economic alternative or complement to collagen supplements is homemade bone broth, which at its simplest is boiling chicken/beef bones with herbs, spices, and a touch of vinegar. Because bone broth is high in collagen (though amounts vary by prep), adding this to a diet could reduce the amount of collagen supplements needed.
Here are a couple of links that are presumably unbiased by corporate funding.
One of the healthier meals one can get at a restaurant is the Vietnamese soup, Pho. It is traditionally made with bone broth. Lots of Pho shops popping up all over.
